CURTAIN FIXTURE.

Application filed reiiruary 22, 1922. Serial I\To. 538,616.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES A. HENRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sturgis, county of St. Joseph, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in curtain fixtures.

The main objects of the invention are:

First, to provide an improvedcurtain fixture in which the rod may be quickly engaged with or disengaged from its supporting bracket and at the same time one which is securely retained thereon.

Second, to provide an improved curtain rod and supporting bracket which does not necessitate the mounting of the bracket as rights or lefts.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which:

Fig. I is a top view of a curtain fixture embodying the features of my invention, parts being broken away for convenience in illustration.

Fig. 11 is a vertical section on a line cor responding to line 22 of Figs. I and 111.

Fig. III is a vertical section on a line corresponding to line 33 of Fig. 11.

Fig. IV is a detail view with the bracket and rod disengaged illustrating one position in assembling or disassembling. v

Fig. V is a detail view illustrating another position of the parts in assembling or disassembling.

in the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the drawing, the curtain rod 1 is of the commercial flat rod type having inturned flanges 2 at its edges. I provide wall brackets 3 comprising wall plates perpreferably through this cam projection is such .thatkthe rod cannot he slipped upon the arm when presented horizontally thereto 33' TO THADDEUS S. t

without somewhat springing or distorting the rod. However, by presenting the rod to the bracket at the angle of the inclined edge of the bracket as shown in Fig. V the rod may be engaged with a tilting sliding move ment and when swung to the horizontal position as shown in Fig. III with the lower edge of. the bracket lying within the channel a clutching action is secured at 9 and at the lower. edge of'the bracket, eifectively supporting the rod against a pull longitudinally of the bracket. However, the rod may be easily disengaged by swingin up wardly to the position shown in Fig. i and an outward pull thereon.

/Vith this arrangement of parts the parts are held in engagement very securely and at the same time may be disengaged as occasion requires. The parts of my improved curtain fixture are very simple and economical to produce and strong and durable and not likely to become distorted or in'op erative in use or in assembling or disassem bling.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. In a curtain rod fixture, the combination of a curtain rod member having inturned edges, and a bracket having a flat arm with a horizontal bottom edge and an inwardly inclined upper edge providing a clutching cam at its outer end with which said curtain rod member may be engaged with a tilting movement, the lower corner of said arm being rounded.
